Gensler’s Slingshot

The idea behind Gensler’s Slingshot

We were recently impacted by H. R. Giger’s Jesus Slingshot to a degree that we thought about creating something from that.

Inspired by the allegory of the deities in Giger’s work we had the urge to represent that in the crypto environment. Then we reach Gary Gensler, the first man in an elevated spot in the US government with deep knowledge about crypto. Gensler is also a key player in the process of regulating the trillion-dollar cryptocurrency industry.

Some people think Garry may be a messiah of the cryptocurrency, others think the opposite. Could there be any other intentions behind him? Can he bring greater regulatory oversight to the crypto market? Is he going to put down the bad actors and make a better world?

We tried to transmit the many interpretations and doubts from the referenced art (from Giger) in this illustration. With the importance of the actors in the art, we thought that Gary’s image could also portray different interpretations. A man with a career so deep in finance and an MIT blockchain professor couldn’t ignore us.

Is Garry a christ or a devil in this illustration? Who’s behind the slingshot? Where’s the slingshot pointing at?
